[Origami] James Minoru Sakoda
Greetings: I didn't see this article mentioned here and think it should be more widely shared. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/08/obituaries/james-sakoda-overlooked.html?unlocked_article_code=r2WQGRzSze8XAlNFEKGTC1XBpHtdg2tNKRub2NBCVZgPkT6t_1x2wif9p1Ub0DP5Fn1zBGHuJgjadcOCX6m8IqgTkxYs3uU8I3XuU6V-TaecFKipHeo0ngNtVRJj_lqyiv5L16saqqjWwg4bpJfHJwuNI9p_mpY6T1R1CdeuEpCmPg9eZWWhNAc7SY9eebeQ5WysAx0vx6zsY_KMitE4e7raOjUpPyYJHnA_CE-fJFyP7dzcU6F97OcAbXOdBIoYFQp0pbjNOIRSJinf0IzXyQtzuGrzDXajuvXfwDPb1YFnaRFENeE_NfZOe1TmXfouvjHHZRTIfwA9nY0ktvBu8y9TeE4&smid=url-share It's not about origami so much, but about the other interesting and important work James Sakoda did when he wasn't folding. Because most of us have day jobs. Yours, Philip
Re: [Origami] Origami Digest, Vol 199, Issue 15
Dear Lorenzo, I have that book and do know something about it. It is called 折り紙の幾何学 (The Geometry of Origami) (1979) and was written by Kôdi Husimi, a physicist, mathematician and statesman, and his wife, Mitsue Fushimi. (Their last name is 伏見 in kana, but they used different styles of romanization. Both spellings reflect one pronunciation.) I corresponded briefly with their son, who told me Mitsue Fushimi was the real folder in the family. It is an interesting book with clever models and some fun math in it. I cannot say the diagrams are always easy to follow. Jun Maekaewa's Folding Geometry (2016) has one of the book's models, a particularly elegant cube, on pages 112 and 113. Other models from the book show up in Kasahara's Origami Omnibus (1988) and Kasahara's and Takahama's Origami for the Connoisseur (1987).

Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Hi everyone, Does anyone know what kind of book this is? https://www.hon034.com/items/25963002 it seems to me something like proceedings of a Math/Origami conference, or similar. Can you tell more? Regards, Lorenzo
